Upper ball joint stuck - Citroen C5 X7

Post by cedrichn »

Hello! Happy Easter!

Like some I guess, I used this long weekend to refresh the suspension on my C5 X7.

Surprisingly, the lower ball joint was easy to replace, but the upper one is completely stuck... I do have the good socket, tried with a 1 meter extension...and it even broke my extension! Any advise ? I am thinking of buying a powerful impact driver, or buying a complete "arm/pivot" from breaker...

Thanks!
